J. F. Kennedy Memorial, Birmingham
Key features, including the heads of some of the main figures, were retrieved and retained by Kenneth Budd's son Oliver.[5] The new mosaic was erected in January 2013, in the city's Irish Quarter, on Floodgate Street in Digbeth,[6] in reworked form, including the controversial[7] addition of a new face, that of former Lord Mayor of Birmingham Mike Nangle, the city's first Irish Lord Mayor.[4] The retained sections were not used as the colours had faded and would not match the new Smalti mosaic tiles.[9] Featured alongside Kennedy in the mosaic are his brother Ted,[10] the seal of the president of the United States (using real gold),[11] Martin Luther King Jr.,[12] American policemen, and other figures.On the left (again, all in upper case): In tribute to John F Kennedy President of the United States 1960-3 and to the right: A man may die nations may rise and fall but an idea lives on
